    the sky is blue becasue light is being bounced and refracted particles, like Oxygen

    the moon doesn't have an atmosphere so no

    2) any planet with an athosphere of oxygen should have a Blue sky

    The huge amount of Nitrogen gas in the atmosphere scatters blue light thus making all the sky blue.

    No, because there is no atmosphere.

    Don't know - it depends on their atmospheres.
